Business reporter A LONDON IT company on the wave of success has opened a new office in Chippenham as it seeks to expand its operations in the west country.
Wavex, which was the first company to write a fix for the infamous I Love You computer virus, has launched its first offices outside the capital.
The company provides enterprise- level IT services to businesses of different sizes.
And now it has a team of west- based technical experts and support engineers which will provide hands- on support to IT departments and directors looking for high-quality and cost-effective solutions.
"Businesses are crying out for proactive IT specialists who can manage their technology infrastructure, advise on preventative measures and respond quickly when things go wrong," said regional director Adam Morris, who is based at the company's new offices.
"Many businesses feel vulnerable in the face of the increasing threat from hackers, viruses, software failures and system crashes, particularly when they rely on IT to deliver a quality service to their customers."
Peter Sweetbaum, managing director, said: "Wavex chose the west of England as a base for its first regional operation because it is home to thriving businesses which have adopted technology to drive their businesses forward and understand the importance of secure and reliable IT infrastructure.
"The technologies we've developed in-house will now be available to west-based businesses which want to use their IT to greater effect."
